pgcrypto crypt()/md5 and hmac() leak memory when compiled against
OpenSSL as openssl.c digest ->reset will do two DigestInit calls
against a context. This happened to work with OpenSSL 0.9.6
but not with 0.9.7+.
Reason for the messy code was that I tried to avoid creating
wrapper structure to transport algorithm info and tried to use
OpenSSL context for it. The fix is to create wrapper structure.
It also uses newer digest API to avoid memory allocations
on reset with newer OpenSSLs.
Thanks to Daniel Blaisdell for reporting it.
sizebitvec of tsearch2, as well as identical code in several other
contrib modules. This provided about a 20X speedup in building a
large tsearch2 index ... didn't try to measure its effects for other
operations. Thanks to Stephan Vollmer for providing a test case.
support for the dbf2pg contrib module.
The submitter created a patch which replaces the silent ignoring of -F
(when iconv support is disabled) with a meaningful warning.

proposed pgbench changes" on 2005/11/29 for more details.
The change at line 490 updates doCustom's local variable "commands"
after selecting a new file (command sequence). I think that the
existing coding will cause the thing to use the first command of the
old sequence in the remainder of the routine, which would be a bug.
I have not tried to set up a test case to prove it, though.
The other two changes cause doCustom to loop after processing a
meta-command. This might be a bit controversial, but as the code
is currently written, each meta-command "costs" one cycle of the
outer select() loop. Thus, for example, with the default TPC-B script,
once a backend returns "COMMIT" it will not receive a new command
until four cycles of issuing commands to other backends have elapsed.
(You can see this very easily by strace'ing pgbench under load.)
comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
Backpatch to 8.1.X.
if there isn't one already open. Upon dblink_close, only commit
the open transaction if it was started by dblink_open, and only
then when all cursors opened by dblink_open are closed. The transaction
accounting is done individually for all named connections, plus
the persistent unnamed connection.
pointers, to ensure that compilers won't rearrange accesses to occur
while we're not holding the buffer header spinlock. It's probably
not necessary to mark volatile in every single place in bufmgr.c,
but better safe than sorry. Per trouble report from Kevin Grittner.
like '23:59:60' because of fractional-second roundoff problems. Trying
to control this upstream of the actual display code was hopeless; the right
way is to explicitly round fractional seconds in the display code and then
refigure the results if the fraction rounds up to 1. Per bug #1927.
Remove unportable use of tfind/tsearch in favor of bsearch. Fix up
random number generator to use random() not rand() and to actually honor
its min/max arguments properly. That wasn't so important before, but
with exposure of capability to ask for general ranges, it will be.
argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string. The frontend
conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an
implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass. This provides
backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument
is explicitly typed as 'text'. When the argument is just an unadorned
literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the
stored representation will be an OID. This solves longstanding problems
with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as
well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or
moving them to another schema. All per recent discussion.
Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support
for mirroring sequence operations (int4 vs int8 confusion for instance).
a few typos in comments.
The dictionaries I checked list "altho" as a variant of "although,"
but I didn't find any other instances of the former in the source
tree so I changed it.
